Astronaut Ice Cream (10 Packages) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Melts in your mouth
Comment: Yummy. We gobbled it right up. Only issue is the unit price. The portions are so small, yet it's so expensive. Is this stuff really that expensive to make? That it's like $12 a lb.

Summary: MY GUILTY PLEASURE
Comment: SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL I HAVE ALWAYS LOVE THIS STUFF. I EVEN SNUCK INTO THE BISHOP MUSEUM IN HAWAII JUST TO BY THIS 1 PACK OF THIS STUFF. I WORKED AT MARBLE SLAB ICE CREAMERY FOR NEARLY A YEAR AND NEVER TOUCHED THE ICE CREAM BUT GIVE ME A PACK OF ASTRONAUT ICE CREAM AND ITS GONE WITH A SNAP. IT IS A SMALL AMOUNT FOR THE PRICE OF A PINT OF ICE CREAM BUT FOR ME ITS WORTH IT. PLUS, IT TAKES THAT GUILTY FEELING OF GAINING WEIGHT AWAY.

Summary: Is as described. Freeze-dried ice-cream
Comment: If you've ever had freeze dried ice cream before, this is the stuff. The size of each treat isn't very large, but definitely enough to enjoy. Each bar is individually wrapped. It is also lots of fun to give to anyone who hasn't had it before.

If you don't know what freeze dried ice cream is, it is pretty straight forward. All of the water is removed from normal ice cream in a special way. First the ice cream is kept frozen while a vacuum is applied to it. The vacuum causes water to slowly sublimate and vaporize. The vaporized water is eventually all sucked out and you are left with a chunk of ice cream that has everything in it but water. Note, it doesn't melt. The process brings water straight from the solid to gas. This technique is used for lots of foods because it makes the food last forever -- without water most bacteria and molds simply can't grow. If you are a hippie, feel safe. The process doesn't use any crazy chemical science that'll kill your mojo.

Comment: The ice cream came just a few days after I ordered it, and in great packaging. Great job.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Novelty food is not always novel food
Comment: This kind of tastes like ice cream. Unfortunately the similarities end there.

The creamy texture that makes REAL ice cream feel good in your mouth must have been sucked out of the package along with the moisture back at the factory.

Biting down on this stuff is like biting into a hardened piece of neopolitan-flavored insulating foam. I found it to be a pretty gross sensation and had a hard time finishing the bar.

Still, it's worth trying once!
